Compare finishes side by side

Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.

How it looks	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.

Worth knowing	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.
Looking after it	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
